Well, this was not as disturbing as I expected. I mean, it had moments, but it was, overall, a little slow moving. It did have some surprising twists, but it felt sort of unfinished and there wasn't a very satisfying explanation as to why the narrator was the way she was, or what happened to Justin. Still, I do like Mo Hayder's writing. This was more along the lines of _Pig Island_, but not quite as good. Overall, though, I really do like Mo Hayder.
